Yesterday we covered reports linking Jeremain Lens to Fenerbahce with claims a deal was close. According to various Turkish media outlets, including AmkSpor, Fenerbahce have signed the Sunderland attacker on loan, with a view to making the deal permanent next summer.
Lens will be an excellent signing for Fenerbahce, a team craving some tricky and creativity in the wide positions. They’ve made their worst start in the league since 1981, having picked up 1 point from possible 6, and Lens could help them kick start their season.
Dick Advocaat addressed reporters following yesterday’s 3-3 draw against Kayserispor and said: ”Yes, it’s sure we need some players. I talked to the president and told him exactly that. We need a creative offensive midfielder who knows what he’s doing on the ball. And a winger who can provide width for us. Of course he’s asked about Lens and I don’t know any updates, but I think we’re closing in on him.”
The 27-year old Dutchman has played 2 games for Sunderland this season, but didn’t start in either match.
